Intel on the new leader. Alshabab is sayin he was the leader of the muskar ras kamponi division and that he was also the Al Shabab governer of bay an bakool. If we examine this we can argue that ras kamponi amongst the most Feared divisions particularly in the war furthermore bay and bakool region when under Alshabab was the primary support base for the movement and still enjoys a lot of support around the area. Godane also conducted various purges killing his opponents and usually if people left Alshabab they would complain of Godane. With Godane out of the picture anything can happen.

African Union boots with American special forces and drones kill one man. Hate it or love it Alshabab commited many crimes and killed many innocent people. What surprises me is not Alshabab it's these people who take the credit for American special forces as drones and au forces. In reality the somali government can't control an inch without au forces. History shows us that organisations like Alshabab morf into something worse. The au and us cheerleaders on sol can continue with with the cheerleading hahaha... We await to see what life brings to us next...

The United States killed zarkawi in Iraq using a drone and yet alqeada in Iraq turned into the Islamic state. Alshabab had a complex structure when one leader dies it's usually a more fierce successor who takes the helm. I was reading twitter and some close sources say he was injured he might have died from these injuries. Alshabab is not a dead organisation. To kill it you have to answer the question of why somalias enemies occupy its soil???

Talabo your a very strange man. You have no understanding of what you are talking about because if you understood the Shia creed you would never support it. This struggle between Islam and the west is an ideological struggle between the forces of conservatism, tawhid, societal advancement and the western secularist godless system of endless materialism and degeneration. The battle between the Shia and Islam is one of the most important struggles. If you support the Shia you support Karbala as the new Mecca, you support Hussein and Ali as God not the supreme Creator. If you support Shia you support the death of all Sunnis this is their objective. Talabo clearly supports this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8BMf39TlZE

These examples can be found everywhere in the world were there is a muslim population that wishes to live in an Islamic system. We are told daily by the Zionist owned media that this concept is terrorism. Even though 1400 years of history proves otherwise. All these people want is to live in an Islamic state. The muslim people's of the world gave the world peace for 1400 years and they desire peace. But were peace is hard to achieve because of US foreign policy you will find those who take up arms and fight for it in Islamic countries and this monster is not a muslim creation it's a product of American double standards. These problems that exist today are a by product of design the alawites in Syria did not stumble upon power in Syria. The monarchies of the region were not an accident. The hawd and reserve area being given to Ethiopia was not an accident. Egyptian military aid and support for Israel is not an accident these are deliberate anti islam policies that are design to stop the greatest political system and polity in the history of the world from returning... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHNr_8uNrw It is our duty as Muslims and as Somalis to bring this about first in our cities, then in our regions then in our countries then bring together the entire muslim people of East Africa.

The western world in particular the United States isn't stupid they understand that a powerful islamic country will lead to other countries adopting islamic systems which would then lead to a wider union or chaliphate. Therefore they have to suppress any movement that happens before it can be powerful... Perfect example is Somalia after decades of instability and warlordism a people's revolution created the Islamic courts union and it pacified Somalia and the next day the United States asked christen Ethiopia to invade leading to the deaths of thousands. Just because they said they want islamic rule

In Egypt and Islamic party came to power and was violently removed from power with the support of the american supported military and Saudi Arabia leading to the murder of more then 1000 Muslims whose only crime was that they wanted an Islamic state. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Ou9D14QJg

Nations that have had the right to choose their destiny have all chosen islamic political systems and today even the most secular muslim nation has abandoned secularism in favour of Islamic political systems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHY7MwxzF7k

Islam in the west if often portrayed as anti women but it was the first system that gave women's right at the same time in Europe they were debating if women had souls and today the debate continues as they parade them like animals... In countries like France its legal to be naked but illigal to cover yourself up. These stark differences are among many reasons how these two ideologies differ. But the supreme ideology is easy to see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL0atfi6qt0

The United States has been called out and this is visible to the entire world. In Iraq, in Syria, in Afghanistan, in Somalia in west Africa. The problem does not have a military solution this problem can only be solved with respecting the desire of the populations within these groups operate. Islam is resurgent in Europe, in Africa, I. The Middle East an the entire world. Communism is dead, secularist capitalism is dieing yet after 1400 years the political ideology of islam unity and societal governance still stands even after American drone attacks and 500 bombs on children. Even after the tyrannical support of despots who are illegitimate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrGA6U7tOQQ

It is fair to say that the best of politicians are the Historians. Only the historians see the world within the context of events and time in the past and present and link it. We had under a unified islamic system an empire that stretched from china to France. It contained within it the seeds which gave light to humanity. Which removed borders, which pacified waring tribes, it contained Christians and Jews and Polythiests (like xabad). This system was destroyed in 1924 by the British and European powers who converged upon the muslim nation and spread ideas like nationalism, secularism, Athiesim etc. These systems came dominate the islamic nations of the world all chasing pan Somalism and pan Arabism and secularism ad later additions like communism. These systems have destroyed our core, our societies and our nations. Today there is without doubt an islamic awakening and a notion of Islamic revolutionism which is the desire to remove one system with another plain and simple.

What is the meaning of revolution: "a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system". That is the oxford dictionaries definition of the word. The systems being overthrown are secular, pan Arabist, atheist and monarchies. In favour of what an islamic order that has at its core the sharia. So in line with any academic my definition of this recent phenomenon is appropriate and correct. You guys are getting off the topic focusing on trivial definitions and groups. What is a reality is this is revolutionary and core reasons for this global revolution is the failure of American foreign policy that is anti muslim.

These forces some extreme and some not extreme seems like they are here to stay their arguments are consistent and is proven because we see the double standards in front of our eyes. How the United States rearms israel to murder babies in GaZa. How the world turned away when tens of thousands of people in Syria were killed like rats with chemical weapons. We see drones over Afghanistan killing cattle and people in their villages. We see how the United States and Ethiopia removed Somalia's last chance of peace and gave birth to the modern day alshabab movement which was born after the collapes of the islamic courts union. We see with our own eyes the United States support for countries like Uzbekistan whose leader boils people in acid for asking for islamic rule or for simply going to the mosque. We see with our eyes how Muslims are portrayed in the media everyday as terrorist and murders and lunatics. While christien and Jewish lunatics are not branded by their religions but just as lunatics. We see how the United States supports monarchies that behead people and kill people and are intolerant of other religions in the same way as others they claim to fight for those very reasons. We see how European nations support any and all forces that want to fight against this growing tide demanding for an islamic system of governance in favour of secular notions. Truly a sick world we live in when a society cheers for their own subjugation and their own destruction. People come and go. They are born and they die. Concepts are harder to kill. The United States and the secular nations who have actively fought against all and any islamic notions of unity or ideology and they and only they have created a monster.

This year has undoubtly been a year unlike any other. What the Arab spring tried to achieve through peaceful protest has taken on a new demension. The concept of islamic Revolutionism is something new. this new notion argues that only through armed struggle can Muslims achieve an islamic state. This argument regardless of what the Critics has received a lot of support around the Muslim world. From Tunisia, to Yemen, from Syria to morroco. From Egypt to Jordan the people chant...we demand the overthough of the regime. We demand our rights to choose our political system. We demand to be the shapers of our own destiny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7XtSz53uKQ The result of the glorius Arab spring was for Egypt the over-through of a democratically elected government because it was an islamic government and did not meet the interests of the United state or the kingdom of Saudi Arabia which actively works against the establishment of any islamic state in the region. For Syria it was the continued silence of the international community to the war crimes committed against the Syrian people...for Iraq the continued unquestioned support for a Shia government that massacred hundreds of Sunnis daily. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hzHspqLT48 In Yemen after hundreds of deaths and a demand for change one despot was exchanged for another in the interests of the war on terror. For the sake of oil and interest NATO invaded Libya and then attempted to dictate terms for any future government based along secular lines. When rejected Egypt and the gulf stepped in to bomb a people whose only demand is to live in an islamic state. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__3P3ym_TA8 The reality is extremism breeds extremism. Failure to act will inspire others to act. The rejection of a peoples peaceful request to live peacefully in a system of their own choosing will lead some to fight for it. The concept of islamic Revolutionism is taking hold. Today Syria as we know is gone. The country divided into the forces of murder and secularism fighting the opposing sides fighting for an islamic state some extremer then others in their method but whose objective is the same. In Iraq Sunnis are taking up arms and fighting back against their oppressors and these interests have aligned with the Sunnis of Syria removing the borders imposed upon Muslims by sik's pikot treaty dividing peoples who were never divided before. In Yemen revolutionaries have given up on democracy and seek alternative methods in achieving regime change. In Libya islamic forces have taken over the entire country. The call and demand for an islamic state based on the sharia is not a terrorist concept. It is a human right. Muslims want to live in islamic States that abide by the sharia. This is what the people of Egypt voted for. This is what the people of Syria are dieing for. It seems everywhere on this earth that an islamic entity arises and attempts to peacefully take power they are met with severe forces that instantly eliminate it. Islamic history is 1400 years. 1400 years of giving the world the numeral systems, algebra, algarethim, science, art, astronomy, medicine etc. Islam United Nations and civilised them. It made Jews, christiens and Muslims brothers in Spain and in Jerusalem and across the entire Middle East. It destroyed racism and promoted the assistance of the poor. This system was a system and has a system within it that offers a political tool to regulate and rule society that is called the sharia. Muslims demand the sharia and it seems everywhere they have fought for it peacefully has been violently crushed. This remains the main reason why we have the spread of modern day islamic Revolutionism. Alshabab in somalia exists today because Ethiopia invaded somalia alongside the United States a suppressed a peoples movement that was peaceful known as the islamic courts union. The only force to achieve peace in somalia in 22 years gone because of the hatred and fear the United States And other secular and christien countries have for islam. Today we have Kenyans stealing Somalia's coast. While they pimp little somali girls to tourists in Kenya. While Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and others occupy and stay on Muslim soil. In the name of war on terror.

I don't think any state will recognise a alawite state they haven't recognised the Kurds even though they have been the staunchest of servents. As Assad gets weaker he will do everthing to hold on to tartus governate and Damascus. Aleppo is the game changer will the rebels work together or will the Islamic state push the FSA aside? That's a key question. The strategy the rebels are using at present is to take over an attack bases remove all components of Assad and then move on. Allepp, Hama and Homs once these cities fall and the regime supply lines are cut Damascus will fall. When Damascus falls along with all the sunni cities. I honoustly believe elements like the Islamic state and others that have a score to settle will attack tartus and the alawite cities and have a field day. These guys seriously want to remove all the alawites out of Syria. This is an existential fight for survival for the alawite. A fight they will eventually lose. Israel will give them citizenship I think hahahaha...

I agree that Syria will never return to its former state. Where I disagree is that he will attempt to create an alawite coastal state. The entire coast is not alawite. The alawites live predominately in tartus and the governate of tartus and villages scattered around Hama. The coastal regions are divided into two Latakia which has alawite minority and a Sunni majority and tartus governate. If you mean they will entrench themselves in tartus I agree that's were the alawites last stand will be. Whether they try and form a state is not relevant because it will be crushed. At present islamic state has taken the entire North East with the exception of deir Azor airport which is small currently surrounded and has mortars raining down on it. The free Syrian army and other groups are around Aleppo. Jabhat al nusra is around Hama, the qalamoun mountains and near golan. We then have a different coalition in an area not far from Damascus called gouta and also fighting around the Damascus suburbs. Assad has lost a lot of men, Hezbollah has lost a lot of men. Iran has become obsessed with Iraq and doesn't really see Assad as able to holding back the rebels. Case in point, We were all expecting this major push by assads forces around Aleppo however it was insignificant then pulled back. This shows that something serious is happening. Just yesterday the defence minister was assassinated for the fall of the biggest base in the north taqba. Assads brother took to twitter nervous saying lets fortify from Hama to Damascus. So clearly some form of fortification will be attempted. The islamic state will take the last remaining airport in Allepo in a week or so, it's small and insignificant then deir Azor airport a few weeks after that. Allepo will be the decision maker. Will the rebels and islamic state fight it out or will the Fsa withdraw ? That will determine everything. If islamic state captures Allepo. The Fsa will withdraw to Hama or the inside turkey. Then what will likely happen is they will push south to Hama and the Coast Latakia. While also going south to palmyra towards Damascus. At present the Fsa are fighting hard in Hama and are on the verge of taking the airport there. It's to soon to tell but what's for certain is Assad gets weaker every day. And the mass execution of soldiers has become demoralising for his shabiha forces. A lot of them are leaving the army, avoiding conscription or leaving the country. The alawites are also starting to turn on him as we'll but it's to late for that. The alawites death toll is severe.

Israel said it will Obsorb alawites once the dog (Assad) falls.

SYRIA PULSEView Pulse Map إقرأ باللغة العربيةنبض سوريا A memorial bearing the portraits of soldiers from Tartous, who died during the Syrian conflict, is seen on a wall in the city northwest of Damascus, May 18, 2014. (photo by JOSEPH EID/AFP/Getty Images) Alawites prepare as IS, Jabhat al-Nusra close in on regime areas TARTOUS, Syria — Supporters of the Syrian regime seemed to be more reassured last year, as regime forces had been advancing, retaking the lead in many regions, especially along the coast. The emergence of the Islamic State (IS) and the progress it made at the expense of the opposition, declaring the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in June, did not cause much fear in the ranks of the regime’s supporters. Supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad long dismissed the threat from the Islamic State, but that threat has become real as jihadists move into the Homs countryside, approaching Alawite and Christian areas. However, concerns increased as IS started waging battles against government forces in Raqqa province and in the eastern countryside of Homs, while different brigades, including Jabhat al-Nusra, have been advancing in the Hama countryside, closing in on Al-Ghab plain, which is seen as the eastern gate to the Alawite areas in the mountains of the Syrian coast. In the Alawite-majority coastal city of Tartous, people are still leading normal lives, as they are not greatly affected by the turn of events. However, many of the region’s young men continue to perish in battles. Nevertheless, security measures have recently been noticeably tightened, with security patrols deployed on main crossroads at night, in addition to checkpoints where cars are stopped to verify the identities of drivers and to make sure they own the vehicles they are driving. A citizen in the area said: “The authorities have concerns about car bombs and the infiltration of IS fighters into the city,” while others downplayed the role of these patrols and mobile checkpoints, with one person saying, “They have been deployed to detect car-theft gangs, which have recently increased.” Still, the regime’s supporters have changed their stance on IS after it gained control of the 17th Division headquarters in Raqqa, killing dozens of soldiers, mostly hailing from the Syrian coast. An Alawite pro-opposition citizen from Tartous, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Al-Monitor: “Many of the supporters of the regime here have been whispering that the organization is infiltrated by the Syrian intelligence, to break the ranks of the brigades fighting against the regime. Many of them did not give IS much attention, considering it to be one of the factions fighting against the Syrian authorities. They were content with the fact that IS has been keeping the opposition battalions busy with side battles. Today, however, things have changed. IS appears to be an organized, strong and brutal faction, advancing at the expense of other groups, including the regime’s forces, after a long period of mutual nonaggression.” The concerns over IS can be clearly detected by simply asking a taxi driver in the city about the situation. “We were reassured that IS will not get near our areas, but it is closing in on the Alawite town of Furqlus in the eastern countryside of Homs," the taxi driver in Tartous told Al-Monitor. "Other fighters have been advancing in areas surrounding Hama, and the claims by some people that IS is secretly collaborating with the regime’s forces appear to be an illusion. Hundreds of Alawite soldiers have been killed in Raqqa’s countryside and at the Al-Shaer gas field in eastern Homs.” To the east of Tartous, in the western countryside of Homs, residents in some Alawite villages are getting ready for an anticipated battle with IS. There have been rumors circulating among residents that armed factions controlling the Houla Plain and the eastern countryside of Homs are on the verge of joining the ranks of IS. A resident of one of these towns, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Al-Monitor: “Many young men from the Houla Plain may join the ranks of IS, which will make the organization more powerful, organized and maybe more heavily armed if it manages to expand toward the northern countryside of Homs.” “The tacit agreement between IS and the regime collapsed. People in Houla hold a grudge against us, as they accused the National Defense Forces [NDF] in our region of being responsible for the Houla massacre in May 2012,” he said. As IS and Jabhat al-Nusra move closer to Alawite areas, Alawite residents prepare for what many here see as an existential fight. “I refused to join their ranks [NDF], and I believe that they may actually be responsible for the massacre in Houla. But Sunni militants are advancing in the neighboring countryside of Hama, while IS is fighting fierce battles against the regime’s forces to the east of Homs. Should IS attack our towns, I have no other choice but to fight alongside the NDF to defend myself, my family and my home,” he added, pointing out to a man standing near us, carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. The swift deterioration of the situation in the west and north of Hama’s countryside, as anti-regime forces — including Jabhat al-Nusra — advance toward the Christian city of Mhardeh, which overlooks Al-Ghab Plain, as well as in the direction of Hama’s military airport. The militants began carrying out unprecedented attacks using BM-21 Grad missiles targeting the regime’s sites surrounding Alawite-majority towns in Masyaf city and Al-Ghab Plain. Moreover, civilians have started fleeing Alawite villages that are located near battlefields such as the town of Arza near Hama’s military airport, which has been deserted. A resident from an Alawite town in the western countryside of Hama told Al-Monitor, “The situation has become perilous as groups linked to Jabhat al-Nusra are approaching the region.” “People are carrying arms at an increasingly rapid pace, while many families owning real estate in Tartous and Latakia have deserted their homes. The situation has become alarming in this region, especially since many residents expect Jabhat al-Nusra to commit massacres there, should it progress in the region. This will be in retaliation for the massacres the group accused the NDF of committing in Sunni towns — mainly in the towns of Tremseh and al-Lataminah in 2012,” he said. A quick tour of the Alawite villages in the west of Hama’s countryside is sufficient to notice the extent of tension and alert among people, as dozens of checkpoints are deployed along the roads, while cars and pedestrians are being thoroughly searched. In addition, many young men from these towns have been fighting alongside regime forces since the very beginning of the armed confrontations, and this region is seen as the area with most overlapping sects in Syria. It is also considered to be the main gate from the east to the Alawite-fortified areas in the mountains of the Syrian coast. This is likely to prompt the Syrian regime to prepare for major military campaigns in the direction of the strategic areas of Halfaya and Morek in the northern countryside of Hama. It has been widely circulated among regime supporters here, probably citing army sources, that controlling these two areas would be sufficient to cut the supply routes for armed brigades in the rest of Hama.

Where is Saudi Arabia and the stupid Arab slaves of America???? Having homosexual parties in their palaces of course... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk1HpUkZA8s

The entire world had the opportunity to help the 170,000 people who died....but no one helped. Not one nation helped. The United States intervened to help a few yazidis on top of a mountain while they resupplied israel with fresh ammunition to kill our children in GaZa while they played football on the beach. They look away while our children are bombed daily in Syria while 400,000 Sunnis are in Shia death prisons in Iraq and they get butchered on the streets.

So much propaganda on news...systematically beheading children what a liar...

90% of the people who call themselves jews today are not jews, they are not even middle eastern. They are decendents of a people who lived near what is today between southern Russia I.e Dagestan, ingushetia and Chechnya and the ukraine it was known as khazaria. They embraced Judaism because they wanted to be seperate from the Abbasid chaliphate and the Byzantines but wanted monotheism because of social problems they were having. No to islam and no to christenity so they choose Judaism. They were a military war like race who decendened from Turkic Mongolian stock mixed with slav. The mongol invasion pushed them west and that's how they entered Europe. Like I proved to you last time we spoke about this. Xabad I invite you to islam before you die worshiping a statue people built with their own hands who can't help you on the day of judgement. Who can't even help themselves if you destroyed it. Idiolatry is a crime xabad a crime against the creator who created you from sperm and made you flesh and gave you heart and sight and senses.
